Here is a fantastic Zircon! This gem has beautiful peachy orange color that has a brilliant silvery quality. The clarity of this stone is excellent and has just breathtaking flash! The stones display some multi-color flash out in the sunlight. You can see the classic birefringence (facet doubling) that Zircon displays in the photos. Zircon has a bad rap because it is often confused by many as cubic zirconia. However, Zircon is a natural mineral and chemically is zirconium orthosilicate. This stone will make an excellent piece of jewelry, particularly a center stone for a ring and will look nearly identical to fancy color Diamond! The cut is a modified round called Ruination, and was designed by Arya Akhavan. This design works beautifully on Zircon and the results are breathtaking. This stone was faceted by Allyce Kosnar of Kosnar Gem Co., during June 2022. Enjoy!
